The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternative’s latest research innovation is an interactive map that shows how paying for full-time undergraduate university has chang­ed since 1975. It answers questions like: With so many more people going to university, is the experience getting more similar or more dissimilar across Canada? How much more do students today have to work to pay for school? Were the differences between faculties always this big?

The Tuition Map Project includes stories from each province and each course of study blended in the data with clickthrough links that populate the maps. Graphics animate the trends and comparisons.

Whether you’re in university or not, it helps to have a map to visualize how exactly tuition and the country we live in has changed.
